ETCETERAL Fri 16 JAN - Simplon Main - 19:30-20:10

Slovenian experimental trio Etceteral create a propulsive, polyrhythmic, futuristic jazz. It is a sound marked by abstract modular explorations, hypnotic drumming, ricocheting horn textures and crystalline production that, according to Uncut, "leans,towards fusion, but seems more interested in showing the joins, the points where everything fuses, rather than smoothing over those cracks." Kimatika, their third album, is a high octane manifesto of techno symbiosis released on Glitterbeat Records in September 2025.
